Emiko clutched on tightly to Naruto's orange jacket as he ran down the street at ninja speed.
"Naruto, could you please slow down, I'm starting to feel weird." She said as her face began to turn into a slight green color. He stopped and looked at her closely.
"You're getting nauseous Emiko, sorry I'll slow down." He said and continued down the street at a much slower pace, much to Emiko's delight.
"Naruto, let's stop by your place first, I need to change." She said, causing Naruto to look at her weird.
"Why do you need to change?" He asked, causing Emiko to slap him upside the head.
"Because all I'm wearing is a pair of Ino's panties and one of her father's shirts!" She yelled in his ear, causing him to almost drop her.
"Geez, don't hurt me, I'll take you there." He mumbled under his breath, changing his directions towards his apartment. She held him tightly as he jumped the rooftops. Finally he made it to his apartment and opened the door, almost dropping his twin a second time. He walked in and dropped Emiko on the bed and walked over to his closet, pulling out an identical outfit to his.
"You really expect me to wear this?" She asked her brother incredulously.
"What's wrong with it?" He asked ignorantly, she pinched the bridge of her nose to keep her from exploding.
"Naruto, you're a boy and I am a girl. These won't look good on me." She said, seeing as the boy was still trying to figure out what was going on. She just sighed,
"Do you have any scissors?" She asked. He nodded his head and grabbed them from the desk across the room and handing them to her. He stood over her as she began to measure the outfit. She quickly grew annoyed and turned towards Naruto. She grabbed a piece of paper and a pen and quickly jotted down a few things.
"Could you run to the store and pick me up a few things?" She asked in a sickeningly sweet voice. He quickly grew scared and grabbed the list from her hands, running out the door.
She quickly got to work, knowing the peace and quiet wouldn't last very long, and began cutting his pants so they were the length of shorts. She pulled them on, and changed into the black shirt that laid on the bed. She pulled the jacket, but had it only halfway zipped. It all actually fit pretty good, considering her body was pretty similar to her brother's. She wrapped a kunai pouch at the hem of shorts and tied her hair into high pigtails. She stood up on wobbly legs and looked at herself in the mirror. She looked pretty good! She turned around as she heard the door open. Naruto stood there and dropped the bag of groceries on the ground.
"What the hell did you do to my clothes!" He yelled, causing her to wince slightly. She quickly recuperated and shot him a sly smirk.
"These are my clothes now." She said in a mischievous voice. He just groaned and handed her the bag. Emiko gasped now realizing that Naruto was sporting a black eye.
"What happened to you? That wasn't there when you left!" She yelled at him, causing him to glare at her.
"Apparently, it didn't look very good for a boy to be shopping in the lingerie department." He grumbled. Emiko just laughed at him. 'Wow I wish I could have seen that one.' She thought to herself, smiling a bit. She just placed the bag on the bed before holding her arms out, her silent queue for Naruto to carry her. He leaned down a bit and let her jump on his back.
"Stop acting like Duckbutt! Where is that perky Uzumaki attitude that I love?!" She yelled in his ear. He grimaced a little, but plastered a large smile on his face. Emiko ruffled his hair a little bit causing him to giggle slightly.
"Alright, lets go to Ichiraku's!" He yelled before bolting out of the apartment, Emiko clutching onto his jacket tightly. They sped down the streets, avoiding all the civilians in their way. Finally, Naruto stopped in front of their destination.
"Here we are!" He yelled proudly, before moving the curtain slightly and walking in. He let Emiko get off his back and sat down on one of the stools.
"Two Miso Ramen's Old Man!" He yelled out. The Old Man just chuckled.
"Coming right up!" He said with a closed eye smile before getting to work on the ramen. The Old Man's daughter gave a sweet smile to Naruto and Emiko.
"Who's your friend Naruto?" She asked with the sweetest look on her face.
"This is my sister Emiko, dattebayo!" He said with his famous grin. She looked at them with a slightly shocked expression.
"Since when did you have a sister Naruto?" She asked with her eyes fixated on his female counterpart.
"Since yesterday! Pervy Sage helped materialize her and-" He kept droning on but Emiko wasn't paying much attention. She was looking outside the curtain watching the world go by. She was ripped from her thoughts when a bowl was placed in front of her.
"Eat up, it's on me!" He told the two. Naruto looked absolutely delighted while Emiko was attempting to use chopsticks. It took her a few seconds, but she got the hang of it pretty quick. As soon as she took a bite, her eyes lit up. She finished off her bowl almost as fast as her brother but instead of going for a second bowl, she watched her brother devour his fifth. Suddenly, the curtain was moved and a boy with pineapple hair walked in. He sat next to Naruto and placed his head in his arms sleepily. Suddenly his head shot up and looked towards Emiko with a shocked expression.
"Since when do you have a sister Naruto!?" He about shouted in shock. Naruto scratched the back of his sheepishly.
"You are the first on to notice that she is my sister Shikamaru." Naruto said. Shikamaru gave him a dumbfounded look.
"Its kind of hard not to notice, she looks identical to you!" He stated with a stoic expression.. Emiko gave him a small smile.
"My names Emiko Uzumaki and I was the voice inside his head, believe it!" She shouted out happily. A sweatdrop formed on the side of Shikamaru's head.
"There is no doubt in my mind that she is your sister." He said before going back to dozing. Naruto finished up his tenth bowl of ramen, and was rubbing his bulging stomach. Emiko just laughed and leaned over him, waking up the sleeping pineapple.
"What do you want?" He asked sleepily. Emiko grinned at him slightly.
"Can I ride on your back instead of Naruto's?" She asked. He looked at her and sighed.
"You really want a ride from a guy you just met?" He asked, his head still buried in his arms.
" I have seen you from inside of Naruto's mind. You are like his best friend right?" She asked with her head slightly tilted to the side.
"I guess you could say that." He said while stretching his arms.
"Well a best friend of Naruto's is a best friend of mine!" She yelled out, extending out her arms.
He got up, muttering something along the lines of 'What a drag' and let the blonde girl crawl on his back. She threw her arms around his neck and nuzzled her nose into his shoulder. Naruto got up and thanked the Old Man, and led them out the building.
"Where to next Naruto?" He asked, yawning slightly.
"We need to meet up with the rest of Team 7 so they can meet Emiko." He said and took off in a random direction. Shikamaru sighed.
"Aren't Kakashi and Sasuke off training in some discreet location and Sakura visiting Lee in the hospital?" Shikamaru asked, well more like stated. Naruto visibly paled.
"I knew that." He said, scratching the back of his neck. Shikamaru shook his head and began walking in a different direction.
"Where are you going?" Naruto yelled out, causing random people to look at him.
"To the BBQ place. If she can't exactly meet Team 7 at the moment then I'm taking her to meet Team 10." Shikamaru called back. Naruto ran to catch up.
This was going to be an interesting day.
